I've used heartfelt creations stamps and die set.

First of all i would like to apologise for not getting around to visiting all blogs, but have been away on business and didn't take the computer, just the ipad, and it was too damn slow, but I promise I will be in full swing this week. I've also elected not to choose a pick of the week because it wouldn't be fair, and I'm sure you all agree.

Now this card looks better with the naked eye, I just didn't seem to be able to photograph it as the gold is too shiny, and I just kept playing with the settings on the camera, and this is the best I came up with.... sorry ... need photography lessons (LOL), the dp looks pink!... oh well you really just have to believe me. My stamp is Gina K, as is the sentiment, and I've embossed iin gold....
